Game night at George's - Beer

Another game night at George's and lots of great beers. We each had about a three ounce pour of each.
The Game was Nippon - Good game but took way too long for a first time.

  USA, Ohio

  Very nice Mead from Northeast Ohio. Almost seemed to have a slight spritz to it. Golden color. Not powerful, but quite pleasant if maybe even a bit more than that. B

• 2015 Elevator Brewing Company Bar-Bar Bourbon Barrel Aged Barley Wine

  USA, Ohio

  From Columbus, Ohio. This is very good. Brown but not too dark. Nice nose. Some depth. Well worth seeking out. Not a lot of Bourbon notes though. Thinner body, yet lots of flavor. A-

• 2016 East End Brewing Company Gratitude Barleywine-Style Ale

  USA, Pennsylvania

  Meh. Its ok, but nothing special. Served in a can which is a bit unusual. Its a solid beer, but I don't get the Barleywine. This was also supposed to be Bourbon Barrel Aged which didn't really show up either. B-

• 2016 The Bruery Chronology:6 (Scottish Ale)

  USA, California, South Coast, Orange County

  Excellent beer. They called this "wee heavy" so it is in the style of a Scotish Ale and aged in Bourbon Barrels. A slight sweetness. Powerful beer but not over the top. Lots of flavor. Excellent. A

• NV J. Wakefield Brewing Barely Something BA Imperial Stout w/ Raspberries

  USA, Florida

  I liked this a bit more than the others. Not a lot of Raspberries. Perhaps that was what they meant by Barely Something. That said, the underlying beer is good. The raspberries to me had a Kool-Aid quality which I guess is not desired. Others found it more like children's cough syrup. I didn't think it was great, but I easily drank my pour. Certainly unique.

• 2015 Hangar 24 Barrel Roll No. 3 - Pugachev's Cobra

  USA, California

  This is a Bourbon Barrel Aged Russian Imperial Stout with Maple Syrup. I found it quite good. Not a lot of Maple although a taste later in the night seemed to show more. Delicious wine. Slightly sweet. A bit of char. Good finish. Very light on its feet, not heavy. A

• 2015 East End Brewing Company Homewood Reserve BBA Stout

  USA, Pennsylvania

  Very good if not great. Everything is here just doesn't take that final step. That said, very good. Slight bitterness. Good balance. Medium weight (for a stout). Enjoyable. B+

• 2015 Lickinghole Creek Bourbon Barrel Three Chopt Tripel

  USA, Virginia

  A lighter take on a Bourbon Barrel Ages beer. I seemed to like it a bit more than the group. After so many beers, it had some life to it. A bit of citrus. Slight Bourbon notes. Good clean finish. B+
